How about making them optional please? I am a gamer who prefers to adventure in a nonlinear manner with my friends killing monsters in as we go. We like to adventure down in dungeons and killing what we want to kill and progressing. Just because WoW started the quest till you die progression didn't mean it should be the only way. In WoW you could still just go kill and progress a little slower than someone who quested the whole way. LOTRO takes it over the top. I hate the game. I do not want to play the stupid thing. If you were to not quest ... you would never hardly level. They made it mandatory basically to follow their stupid linear quest lines. Game developers should make it optional to quest. Some do not like to be forced to. It should be equally beneficial to just go down in a dungeon with friends and kill monsters for the heck of it. LOTRO has taken it too far. I also think that there should be more incentives to group than they are now in these games. Why does it have to be faster to solo through them? Why not just play a single player game? Having solo is fine but again, grouping should be just as quick. |

Agree. I actually had more fun in EQ1 where quests were mostly worthless. Grouping to grind places was more fun than these new solo games. Sure you didn't always find a group but I have far more memories from that game than I do from the WoW account that I've held for nearly twice as long as I had the old EQ1 account. Solo friendly quest based advancement is like playing a single player game in a room full of people with headphones on. So anti social. |

I feel the same way as you. EQ was the only game that I have had so many great moments in I will never forget. It felt like a real world not a game like everything now. |

agrees, LOTRO isn't for everyone. the amount of questing becomes annoying very quickly, but the instance questing is a nice touch, straying away from WoW's completely repetitive quests... although they end up pretty similar in the end... |
